Encoding in jEdit Console (way to change it?)
Submitted by on Friday, 3 February, 2006 - 14:10
Hi,
This is my first post here, but I'm a long time jEdit user. What a great piece of software! Thanks to its many authors and contributers
The problem:
When I use the Console in System mode to execute commands, the output of these commands has its accents and other extended characters replaced by squares. I'm under Windows XP Pro, French. The output of the commands is in french.
Under "standard" dos box in WinXP, I sometimes have to change the codepage to 1252 ("Windows" Latin 1) or UTF-8 (cp 65001) and choose the correct font to get readable output.
But changing the codepage under the jEdit console is useless, since it is done by the chcp command, and every Console command is executed in its own "shell", so any previous codepage change is not reflected on subsequent commands.
It seems the default encoding for the executed commands is 850, but that doesn't match the display in the jEdit Console (is it UTF-8 ?).
Is there a way to change the encoding of the Console ?
Or am I wrong about the cause of this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks.
Ced
